it was his personal aircraft, it’s pretty well confirmed

Rest In Peace. Absolutely tragic. Rip to all involved, as well.

Kobe’s impact can’t be overstated. Still so heavily involved too with many current basketball items. Can’t even imagine how the nba community will react.

 

[rrlbees]

Woj reported it.

Yes he did.

 

[samspann1]

Yes he did.

he works for ESPN, no?

Choked up telling my father. Hard to believe this is true.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Confirmed. Oh god

 

[Alsacs]

Brutal I just hope and pray none of his family was with him.
4 other people on that helicopter. One had to be the pilot.

Def right to confirm but it's all over every other news outlet yet nothing on ESPN or its website.

I can understand your skeptical and I think it’s worthy

Where did I say I was skeptical? I know it’s true. I saw local LA TV confirmed it 15 mins ago.

 

[bpo57]

ESPN confirmed

As of 3 pm still nothing on the main channel or website. Not even a ticker scroll.
